Taylor Swift is back!

Taylor Is "Overhauling Her Image"

Get ready for a whole new Taylor Swift. If her creepy snake videos were any indication, it seems like the "Bad Blood" singer is going much darker for this next album. According to an Us Weekly source, the first single, which is reportedly titled "Timeless," is very different. "It goes from very soft, to hard, to soft again." Another insider adds, "it doesn't sound like anything she's done before. It's a little unusual. She plays around with new sounds each album cycle, but this one in particular stands out."

There Are Reportedly Some Star-Studded Collaborations

While nothing has been confirmed, there is a track list floating around the internet that includes her frenemy Katy Perry on a featured track. In addition, Drake and Taylor reportedly worked on new music together last year, and just last September, Kesha teased that she was working with a "Grammy award-winning secret person" on Instagram.

She Will Probably Sing About That Kanye West/Kim Kardashian Drama

With all those snake teasers and the latest revelation that her album title will be Reputation, we can only assume that she is discretely responding to that Kanye West and Kim Kardashian drama from last year when people flooded her account with the snake emoji. And they're not the only celebrities Swift might write a song about: there could be tracks about exes Calvin Harris and Tom Hiddleston and her new romance with English actor Joe Alwyn.
